A couple weeks back we took a very brief and high-level look at how the Calgary Flames approached entering the zone on the man advantage. There was no surprise at the time that, well, they were hot and cold. After all, that’s been the calling card of the Flames’ special teams for over a year now.
When it comes to the penalty kill, it’s similarly an interesting bag of results.
One positive, when we looked very early on at the Flames’ forecheck approach under Ryan Huska, was a trend in terms of suppressing zone entries against where the opposing puck carrier had possession.
